Wow she resigned. Doesn't sound like she was canceled. Does the NYT have a hostile work environment? I don't know. But getting told your views are bad on Twitter by your coworkers and the NYT not firing them for that is not a hostile work environment. It's what you get with a cushy writing job writing dumb think pieces about how oppressed conservatives are in a liberal paper that uncritically published them.

I think we as a society need to reevaluate what constitutes cruel and unusual. And the way people justify all this cruelty because they "broke the law" shows that they have entirely lost all empathy. America has effectively dehumanized the idea of being a criminal, no matter how trivial or dumb the law is, to the point where anything is justified, including slavery of those people.

None of these papers ever give a solution such as removing right to work. It seems like they're just asking to be able to say things free from criticism. Also cancel culture has been used for years to suppress people on the left. Now that we've realized that the other side has the really objectionable views they're being "canceled".

The US government failed on many fronts, but the main one is testing. I think that people misunderstood the point of the lockdowns, possibly due to bad marketing from the flatten the curve people. The truth is that without a vaccine reopening would always spike cases, but a robust testing system, with possibly maybe 10x the number of daily tests, would allow us to remove contagious individuals from public and flatten the curve while reopening. Without testing we do have to choose lockdown or hospital overload, but we can still boost testing. The lockdown was like telling your kid a task would take ten minutes, and they would be in timeout until they completed it. If they choose not to do the task, you don't just let them out. Governors can have all the plans they want, but telling them all to come up with their own testing plan without federal use of the DPA is ludicrous.

Debates are usually dumb performances done for the sake of convincing the audience using as many rhetorical tricks as possible to make themselves look like winners and that therefore their idea has won in the marketplace of ideas. A better system would have the two scientists discuss privately and then come forward with a joint statement either reconciling their views, or stating they are unreconcilable

The problem with this is that a policeman with a billy club who beats you because you're recording him doesn't care about your rights and not get fired. So be careful out there

Maybe because the power they get from beating people without accountability is one of the perks of their jobs. They're super power hungry and know that even the slightest amount of oversight will show that the breadth of corruption is much deeper than anyone though

In response the cops beat the judge, noticing he was holding a hammer

Is there anyway we can help? Also can we donate for server costs?

Do you need help? Is there anyway we can help?

This is the idea behind modern monetary theory (MMT) and in that context taxes are only used to prevent against inflation. Borrowing money doesn't increase inflation because it doesn't add new currency. One problem with MMT is that makes it very easy for governments to spend lots of money and very unpopular for politicians to support raising taxes because we have infinite money. It's why you don't let your kid eat dessert before their vegetables because they wouldn't eat their vegetables.

I work for twitch and I've seen that article before and it doesn't seem to fit the pattern of we messed with GC and it didn't fix out problem. The solution in the article uses weird features and behaviors of the golang GC and how VMs allocate memory but it did work very well for them.

I saw this today as a result of xqc playing chess on twitch and I can absolutely say this happened to me when I got really into chess last year. I would sometimes play 6 hours a day of blitz. I've curbed down playtime and it's gone away, I assume it would have even if I hadn't stopped playing so much.
